5. Candace Bushnell

The creator of Sex and the City, Candace Bushnell’s taste for men has always been open on the page. The popular chick series has plenty of cougar plot lines as female characters make their way around town with younger men either on their arm or in their bed. It’s said she based the show’s main character, Carrie, on herself. Her real life makes a strong argument: She recently married a ballet dancer (similar to a plot line) who is 10 years younger (another plot line). Stay tuned to see if this legendary cougar has been permanently tamed or has designs on more prey.
